Since Valentine's Day is tomorrow, I thought it would be fun to make mention of a few of my favorite things— chocolate, ice cream and sprinkles! Put them together and there you have it...Sweetheart Sundaes! They're perfect for a girls get-together, that special someone, or {if you're anything like me} for no reason at all!

Here's how: 1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter, sugars, and cocoa on medium until well combined.2. Remove from heat and stirring continuously, add eggs one at a time.3. Add vanilla and mix.4. Stir in remaining dry ingredients.5. Pour into a prepared 9"x13" pan and bake for 30 minutes or until the center is just dry.6. Let cool to room temperature.

To assemble the sundaes:1. Cut brownies into desired shapes {I like hearts or circles}.2. Place one brownie in the bottom of a parfait cup.3. Add a few slices of preserved hibiscus flowers. 3. Next, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.4. Finish with warm ganache and white nonpareils and decorate {I made glitter hearts this time but cake flags would be cute too!}.

*For a banana split-like alternative, omit the hibiscus flowers and replace with sliced mini bananas, toasted almonds, and a dollop of whipped cream.
